Although a member of IMDB for quite a few years now, I have deliberately put off reviewing this title as it was always my favourite movie of all time, but I wanted to be certain it would remain so...
...and it has. I saw it the first time as a young boy and instantly fell in love with both the story and Audrey Hepburn (of course!); that love affair has endured.
A warm, charming love story that retains its value easily in an age where cinema seems to be all about shock tactics, smut, gratuitous sex, nudity and ever increasingly perverse violence. They can't write movies like this any more because it is simply unfashionable to love and to be loved in the way depicted in this movie.
If you have any romance in your soul, watch this movie. And if you don't "get it" the first time round, watch it again and again until you do; your soul will thank you for it.
